so it's only july and i keep on thinking how dang GOOD it is to be a jboy this summer.

my greatest hope is that they realize that they are lucky, and don't just take this stuff for granted.

so far this summer, the boys have been tubing (multiple times), learned to waterski, gone to the Omaha zoo, caught some fish, hit some waterparks, explored the world by bike (little j ditched the training wheels in april) played tons of baseball, slept in until after 8 nearly every morning, stayed up until nearly 11 every night, had some sleepovers, danced at a wedding, attended a golf clinic and a day camp, joined the webkinz craze, eaten roasted marshmellows by the fire, gone swimming, watched dad play baseball, had picnics and slept in a tent.

that's quite a list. i guess i should mention that i've been involved in most of this funfest, so my summer hasn't been so shabby either. the difference is, i'm aware of how lucky we are, and how great life is, and how good God is to let me be home with my boys like this.

ridiculously blessed. it fits.
